The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A charming and accessible turn based RPG that feels like a cozy trip back to classic monster collecting and dungeon crawling.

What players say

Players call it a light and casual retro RPG with a massive roster of recruitable characters. The story is basic and the combat lacks resource management, with auto-healing after every fight making it easy. Many compare it favorably to old Final Fantasy games, while a few find the combat boring and repetitive.
